The Healing Crest Helping individuals and couples build a healthier relationship with themselves and others.

I’ve always loved to sing.
The kind of love that makes you grab a hairbrush and turn your bedroom into a stage.
But let’s be clear—God didn’t gift me with the kind of voice that gets standing ovations.
Still, I never let that stop me.
Because while I didn’t get that gift, God entrusted me with something even greater—
A voice that heals. A calling that restores. A purpose that can’t be silenced.
So yes, I’m singing in this video…
Not because I’m chasing notes,
But because I’m walking in joy.
This season?
It’s not about hitting every pitch—
It’s about finally owning the gift He gave me and showing up fully.
I’m not shrinking. I’m not hiding.
I’m in full bloom.
And baby, this mic still works.

Unpacking Emotional Baggage—Together

Some wounds don’t leave scars, they leave patterns.
That’s why healing in isolation can only take you so far. Healing together is where the real work—and the real love—begins.
We all carry experiences that shape how we love.
But when you bring past hurts into the light, you transform them from hidden weight to shared understanding.

Here’s how couples grow forward:

Name the Baggage
Don’t sugarcoat it. Don’t tiptoe around it.
Call it what it is—jealousy, control, emotional neglect, fear of being left.
If you can’t name it, you can’t change it.

Offer Empathy, Not Judgment
Your partner isn’t weak for carrying emotional weight.
Be the safe space where they don’t have to perform strength.

Seek Support That Goes Deep
Not every conversation can be healed alone.
Sometimes you need a guide to help you unpack without breaking what you're trying to build.

🧳 Love that lasts doesn’t pretend the baggage isn’t there.
It leans in. Opens it. Sorts through it with care, not blame.

So ask yourselves:
Are we just holding on to each other… or are we healing with each other?

Save this for your next relationship check-in.
Or better yet—bring this to therapy.

Real Talk Check-In
(Because “I’m good” don’t always mean they’re good.)

Let’s be real—
You’re in a relationship, but when’s the last time you really checked in?
Not “How was your day?”
But the kind of check-in that goes deeper than autopilot answers.
Like: “I’m straight.” “It was cool.” “Just tired.”

Most of us were raised to stay strong and push through.
So even in love, we show up guarded.
That’s why your partner says “I’m good” when their heart might be heavy.
They’ve learned to cope in silence, even in their relationship.
And here’s the part nobody says out loud:
Emotional intimacy won’t grow where emotional safety doesn’t exist.

Want a better connection?
Ask better questions.
Instead of small talk, try this:
💬 “What’s been on your heart lately?”

That simple shift says:
🖤 “You don’t have to fake it with me.”
🖤 “I’m not afraid of your hard days.”
🖤 “I want the real you, not the rehearsed version.”
Because love isn’t just about sharing good times.
It’s about creating space for truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.

📌 Save this.
🗣 Share it with your partner.
💬 Try that question tonight.
And when they pause before answering?
Let them. That silence might be the first time they felt safe enough to exhale.

You can love Jesus and still need therapy.
You can be anointed and still feel overwhelmed.
You can quote scripture—and still be carrying trauma no one ever helped you unpack.
You don’t have to suffer quietly to prove you believe.

Some of us were taught to pray it away.
To fast through the trauma.
To quote scripture when anxiety shows up.
To smile in public and cry in private, and call it strength.

But the truth is…
✨ Faith doesn’t cancel your feelings.
✨ Needing support doesn’t make you spiritually weak.

You’re not broken.
You’re not faithless.
You’re not failing God.
You’re just carrying things your faith was never meant to carry alone.

High-Functioning but Hanging by a Thread? That’s not strength—that’s survival mode.

You know the feeling—keeping it together when everything inside you is falling apart. Smiling while your mind races, listening when your chest is tight, and showing up even when your soul is running on empty.

But here’s the truth nobody tells you: Your nervous system wasn’t built to carry the weight of the world. And the worst part? You’ve been so good at being “strong” that nobody sees you struggling.

Emotional regulation isn’t just “calming down.” It’s recognizing the storm beneath your strength. It’s knowing the difference between anger and unspoken fear… frustration and hidden grief.

So let’s talk tools, not just talk:
💡 What’s the emotion beneath all that noise?
💡 Can you name it before it drowns you?
💡 Can you give yourself permission to pause—without shame?

Save this for the days when you feel like you’re one step away from snapping. And if you’re ready to go deeper? The free guide is in the comments.👇🏾

If this feels too familiar, it’s not a character flaw.
It’s a sign you’re carrying more than you were ever meant to hold alone.
This May, for Mental Health Awareness Month, I want you to do something different:
Pause.
Reflect.
And download the free journal that will help you start unpacking it all.
“What Are You Really Holding?”
Available now under the Healing and Relationship Resource Center at LaMoraPace.com
Because you’re not crazy.
You’re just weighed down.
And you deserve more than just survival.
